I am yet to come across a linux system without a root account.

Neither did I see an app cache the user's password.

Does the command 'id root' give you an error? If yes, then there are probably some issues far more serious than a misbehaving app!

Check your passwd and shadow files and make sure they are in order.

Check your sudoers file for anything weird.

At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer, you will find at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer.
